Lyrics Arkells – American Screams
Text:
Can you face it?
Can you embrace it?
You can’t replace — nope
The time you’ve wasted
Portland to Alabama
The ground you’re standing
To protect your family
You double down when your back’s against the wall
You double down when you hear the dealer call
You’ve got your good book all wrong
You wanna do God’s work?
Its gonna be hard work
You’ve got your good book all wrong
You wanna do God’s work?
Its gonna be hard work
I put my faith in only things that I can see
And trust my eyes aren’t playing tricks on me
Down in the desert, outside the Mandalay
Hoping and praying, didn’t change a thing
You double down when your back’s against the wall
You double down when you hear the dealer call
You’ve got your good book all wrong
You wanna do God’s work?
Its gonna be hard work
You’ve got your good book all wrong
You wanna do God’s work?
Its gonna be hard work
You keep repeating that wicked catch phrase
Painted on the interstate
I can’t sleep off all these American screams tonight
You’ve got your good book all wrong
You wanna do God’s work?
Its gonna be hard work
You’ve got your good book all wrong
You wanna do God’s work?
Its gonna be hard work
You wanna do God’s work?
Its gonna be hard work
You wanna do God’s work?
Its gonna be hard work
